Please don't make me dig up my owner's manual to actually quote you the passage ;-) As far as Leicas are concerened, this has been asked before. My M4-P allowed for intermediate shutter speeds, while the M6 manual specifically states that only integral speeds are possible. I suspect that in fact intermediate speeds are possible with the M6, but that the meter only registers at the marked speeds, so setting the shutter to a point midway between, say, 1/250 and 1/500 will result in an erroneous meter reading.
